Though I didn't RTFA, I can tell you there seem to be cooler laser-tweezer applications out there. For instance, right now my sister is working at the Stanford Block Lab, where they are manipulating and studying single molecules with laser traps.
It's really cool to watch, and manipulating things like RNA Polymerase on a single-molecular scale just seems like the way bio research should be done.
